It either decided that it can't do those higher modes or
it just listed the lower modes first. In the Subsection "Display"
in the XF86Config file, the Mode listed first is the one it
starts up in and the rest can be cycled through with
<ctrl><alt><numberpad + or ->. If you want it to start in the
high mode you have to list it first. If it's already that
way then it decided that it can't do those modes. If it does
that, it will tell why in the /var/log/XFree86.0.log, but it's
usually because the Monitor specs in the XF86Config are too conservative.
Mark.
